A MUCH NEEDED RETURN

OF COMMON SENSE 

FORT LAUDERDALE, FEBRUARY 2006:  The world is out of control…. Today's political atmosphere is uncommonly edgy. People are choosing sides, for or against, the present administration. Our private industries care only about the bottom line, certainly not about creating superior products. Organizations and government agencies  are chock full of pen pushers and petty dictators jealously controlling their minor dynasties. No matter where we look, chaos seems to prevail. What we really need in this country is a return to common sense…

LISTEN TO THE

ROAR IN THE EAST

A DAY WITHOUT YESTERDAY - FOR KIDS... AND ADULTS!

FORT LAUDERDALE, FEBRUARY 2006:   As a child, I knew nothing about the Universe. I loved seeing the stars, in all their twinkling glory, but had no idea how they came to be up there. Although the Big Bang theory was first suggested in 1927, by the Belgian priest Georges Lemaître, it wasn't until the discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation in 1965 that the Big Bang was regarded as the best theory of the origin and the evolution of the cosmos. Having said that, it's not hard to see why I still didn’t get it. However, Geeta Pati has made understanding easy.

exciting things happen when one

travels with horses

Fort Lauderdale, february 2006: Equus caballus – even their binomial name sounds enchanting. Horses have been charismatic, proud inhabitants of our ever-changing planet for eons, although they've only been widely domesticated since 2000 BCE. Imagine the elation the very first rider felt as he straddled the broad, muscular back of his newly-tamed companion and raced across the plains like the wind. Lucky are those who, in our modern, technological world, still work and play with these magnificent, spell-binding animals.

BUILDING A HOUSE

IN STONE

FORT LAUDERDALE, FEBRUARY 2006: It can't be an easy thing to erect a building, any kind of building.

SEARCHING FOR THE VICTORIAN GHOST

FORT LAUDERDALE,  FEBRUARY 2006:  Although many people do not believe in ghosts, there are too many unexplained incidents taking place in today's world to blithely disregard them. This week in Orlando, FL, a couple, about to move their Japanese restaurant to the famous Church Street Station building, have backed out of their lease. The reason? Ghosts are haunting the edifice. According to the renter's attorney the apparitions are restless and getting in the way. Meanwhile, psychics, mediums and paranormal investigators of all types are trying to gain permission to look into the phenomenon. Mitchell Angell can tell them about ghosts. Especially one very special Victorian ghost…

  A JOURNEY FAR AWAY

Fort Lauderdale, FEBRUARY 2006:   In this ever changing universe, one thing is constant: the fact that nothing really is constant. For instance, the cold blackness of space, once imagined as endlessly empty, is actually teeming with newly discovered planets. Last month, the Hubble Space Telescope may have found as many as 100 new planets orbiting stars in our galaxy. Could there be life on these planets? Is Marvin, the morose robot of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy fame, still complaining on one of these worlds? Perhaps Sammy, Alph and Larry are visiting with him right now.
